Megyn Kelly The Megyn Kelly Show · Jan 2026 Loserthink isn't about being uninformed; it's about unproductive thinking.
So by introducing loser think I'm kind of collecting a bunch of bad thinking technique so that people could mock it more easily.
The subtitle is, 'How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America'.

Loserthink by Scott Adams is a guide aimed at helping readers recognize and correct unproductive, flawed cognitive patterns, particularly those amplified on social media. The book received attention on several programs, including The Megyn Kelly Show, The Rubin Report, and The Jordan Harbinger Show. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly referenced Adams's final message and noted his intent to teach people how to think better. Dave Rubin hosted Adams on The Rubin Report to explore the principles behind the book, noting its subtitle regarding how untrained brains are ruining America and discussing the importance of cross-domain experience in sharpening vision and problem-solving. Meanwhile, Jordan Harbinger discussed the practical application of the book's concepts on The Jordan Harbinger Show, where Adams clarified that his focus was not on a lack of information, but rather on unproductive ways of thinking. Harbinger even suggested taking photos of specific pages from the book to share with individuals exhibiting flawed reasoning in order to strip emotion out of arguments. Across these discussions, the speakers highlighted Adams's framework as a tool for breaking out of echo chambers, identifying cognitive traps, and fostering more productive public discourse in an increasingly polarized digital landscape.
